bbm was pretty good
shame they killed it

All the old BB services shut down end of this year. They might squeeze out one final BB10 update by year's end, its up in the air right now. There are still some alpha/beta releases out there that people have been playing with.
Its a shame to see it go. Now we're all stuck with shitdroid. Its a tragedy. Modern Android on a flagship phone still isn't as fast as BB10.

We're getting close, at least in most applications... Google is also adopting the swipe flow similar to what iOS took on a while back.
Nothing will be as nice as BB10, but if you peel back the layers, it's an OS driven by shell scripts. Pretty interesting.
The real devastation from losing BBM here is that there is still nothing with the great chat experience it had (at least into the Phillipinos butchered it).

implying Android and iOS are the only usuable OS out there

I thought Sailfish development had stalled, and you had to pay to get the most up to date versions for specific phone models.

Chances of them releasing the source of anything? Would love the OS (QNX) but that's never happening.
Brandon Lopez
Probably zero. The assets to BB10 are tightly tied to a lot of their security IP, and that is tied up in licensing with other companies. They could release the partial source at most, but I doubt that'd ever happen.
That IP still has value. Maybe they'll sell it off to Samsung one day.
